Logic Games Predictions for June 2017 LSAT
Logic Games Predictions for June 2017 LSAT
The June 2017 LSAT is a little under 6 weeks away! Many students are just starting to hit their strides in terms of their preparation. And for many of these students, the Logic Games section causes them the most anxiety. To help, here are my Logic Games predictions for the upcoming LSAT!
Logic Games Predictions for June 2017 LSAT
NOTE: I do not have any inside information about the upcoming LSAT. My predictions are based on analyzing question patterns over the last 5-10 years worth of PrepTests, and are completely my own.
1. One linear game.
This is the easiest of my Logic Games predictions. LSAC has tested a basic linear/sequencing game (with varying difficulties in the tested rules) every administration for as far back as I’m willing to look. So, there will absolutely be one of these types of games on the June 2017 LSAT.
2. One grouping game.
At least one grouping game is also a shoe-in for the upcoming LSAT. Each LSAT going back to PrepTest 62 has at least one grouping game. There will almost assuredly be some iteration of it on the upcoming LSAT, so make sure you are familiar with them!
3. One hybrid game or one advanced linear game.
This is one of the harder LSAT Logic games predictions to make. To review, a hybrid game is one that tests both linear and grouping elements, often with conditional rules. The history project question in PrepTest 78 is a great example. An advanced linear game is one where you have multiple variable sets you need to assign to specific spaces. The art gallery question from PrepTest 80 is one of those.
I think only one of these two will be tested on the next LSAT, so it’s a toss-up which it will be. Advanced linear games appear fairly regularly: there was one on PrepTests 74. 76, 78, and 80. Hybrid games appeared on PrepTests 77-79. Which one LSAC picks for the next test is anyone’s guess, but I bet only one of them appears.
4. One transpositional game.
I’ve written previously about the reappearance of these games. For those unfamiliar with them, these games don’t fall in any of the traditional categories, and often require you to come up with a diagram on the fly. As examples, PrepTest 72 (the Summit Company game), PrepTest 77 (the office assignment game), PrepTest 79 (the computer virus game), and also PrepTest 80 (the trading buildings game) all have this type of game. I’m including one in my Logic Games predictions because it seems these are here to stay. These games seem to be back for good now, so make sure to prepare for them!
So to recap, you will definitely see a linear and grouping game on the next LSAT. I think a transpositional game is also a good bet. The uncertainty, in my mind, then falls to whether a hybrid or advanced linear game is the last type!
